Add Cutter/radare2 support #106

Closed XVilka closed 4 years ago

XVilka commented 4 years ago

I noticed you have a plugin for IDA, but it is not the only one tool available. Radare2 is a highly-portable cross-platform reverse engineering framework and a toolkit without dependencies. It has support for analyzing binaries, disassembling code, debugging programs, attaching to remote GDB/LLDB, WinDbg servers, rich plugin system (see r2pm), and integration with various decompilers. For example, ghidra decompiler plugin - r2ghidra-dec. It is actively developed and can be easily integrated in various open source and commercial products. I believe, it will be highly beneficial to support these and provide a package for install from r2pm, see the package repository here: https://github.com/radareorg/radare2-pm

In case if you need to get the information from radare2 into the OCaml you can use the so called r2pipe mechanism that returns JSON-formed output for the radare2 commands. We maintain a r2pipe opam package. Feel free to reach me if you have the question or suggestions for this r2pipe interface (or radare2 in general).

Why was this closed?

trou commented 4 years ago

This was closed because we are aware of radare2/cutter and have no intention/resources to add such support. Also, I think @XVilka's practice of spamming repositories to advocate radare2 is counter productive and annoying.

However, we will gladly welcome PRs that implement such support.
